Preserving artwork
(1/1)

Hello, isn't there something that you can be brushed on to prevent flaking and peeling on marquees and bezels?  I thought I saw something on this before but used on a pinball machine...

Thanks,
Southpaw

Archival spray fixative. The kind that you can buy at art / craft stores would work for this. It might add a bit of "haze" to something like that, though. Might not be strong enough with a light coat, though.

Anybody else?

Well, here is what I got off of Marvin's pinball website.  I wonder if it would work on silkscreened plexi artwork?  If anyone has any thoughts, please post them...

Introducing Krylon's Triple Thick.
In about 1997 I started using Illinois Bronze/Krylon's "Triple Thick Coating" to save backglasses. This is a spray product, much like Krylon's Crystal Clear, but it produces a much thicker film with far less coats. Krylon calls it a "glazing product", but only because of the film thickness produced. Triple Thick is essentially a thick filmed acrylic lacquer. This makes it ideal for backglass preservation. Most backglasses are silkscreened using inks. But after the ink is applied, the manufacturer's usually put a lacquer type coating over the inks to "lock them down". Because Triple Thick (and Krylon's Crystal Clear for that matter) are a similar product, Triple Thick works very well to lock down delaminating backglasses, and does not have the bleeding ink problem that Crystal Clear has.
